  • Bond-Slip Analytical Formulation toward Optimal Embedment of Concrete-Filled Circular FRP Tubes into Concrete Footings 

    Sadeghian, Pedram, and Fam, Amir. (2010). Bond-Slip Analytical Formulation toward Optimal Embedment of Concrete-Filled Circular FRP Tubes into Concrete Footings. Journal of Engineering Mechanics, 136 (4), 524-533.
    This paper presents a robust analytical model for a moment connection of concrete-filled fiber reinforced-polymer (FRP) tubes (CFFTs) to concrete footings. The CFFT connection is based on a simple approach of direct embedment ...

  • Durability of Concrete Beams with Bonded FRP Composites made of Flax and Glass Fibers 

    Synthetic fibers, such as glass fibers, in the form of fiber-reinforced polymer (FRP) composites have been extensively used for the repair and strengthening of existing concrete structures in the past three decades. As ...

  • Durability of Flax FRPs Exposed to Accelerated Environmental Conditions 

    It is well known that synthetic fiber reinforcements, such as glass fibers, elevate the mechanical properties of polymer materials. Considering the synthetic material’s renewability challenges, natural fibers, such as flax ...

  • Effect of Fiber Orientation on Nonlinear Behavior of CFRP Composites 

    Publisher's version: Sadeghian, Pedram, Rahai, Ali R, and Ehsani, Mohammad R. (2009). Effect of Fiber Orientation on Nonlinear Behavior of CFRP Composites. Journal of Reinforced Plastics and Composites, 28 (18), 2261-2272. doi: 10.1177/0731684408092065
    Fiber orientation is one of the important parameters that affect strength and ductility of FRP-confined concrete columns. A number of studies have been conducted on various fiber orientations and wrap thicknesses, but have ...
